You mean the awards that are given by liberals, voted on by liberals, and given to liberals?

4,5,6, and 10 all had a left slant to them. I guess this writer wasn’t biased huh?

In the Pale Moonlight was the First Star Trek Episode I ever (voluntarily) watched.

Needless to Say, it didn't get much better than that......

Is the WGA trying to run their website off a single dialup modem? At least they put the entire list on a single page rather than making me go through ten pages to see the who list.

Twilight Zone certainly deserves its spot, but I would argue that its thematic grandchild, The X-Files should also have been in the top 10; It easily beats out a number of those others listed.

For some reason the full list won't open for me, so I can only guess at if and where it placed.

I might be one of the very few people who hasn’t seen any episodes of the Sopranos. Waiting for it to go to Netflix and binge it all at once in order.

Green Acres.

Also Married With Children but the writers cheated. They lived in the walls of my house and took notes.

I am serious!
